I was looking for buying birthday cakes for the cats' birthday. Surprisingly, although it is very easy to find dog bakeries, there seems no existence of a single cat bakery. Luckily, a single Google search online brought up many birthday cake recipes for the cats. I picked one simple recipe with my cats' favorite food --- tuna.

So here is the tuna birthday cake for the cats, decorated with shrimp with catnip garnish.

It looks very nice, but most importantly, it was an instant hit. The cats jumped on to the dinning table as soon as I put the cakes on it.

Mayori started with her favorite --- shrimp --- first.

Tom enjoyed the cake itself too.

Recipe (modified based on an online recipe I found, but I could not find the original link anymore):

1. Turn the oven on 350 degree

2. A can of tuna or salmon in water + 2 eggs + a little bit cheese + a little bit of flour

3. Mix all the ingredients and put into a muffin pan.

4. Bake for 15 minutes

5. Garnish with a cooked shrimp (the easiest way is to put one or two shrimp into a cup of water in a tea cup. Microwave for 1 -2 minutes).

Of course, I always pick something nice from this list as their birthday gift!

蛋糕的做法如下：

先把烤箱调到350度。

然后将tuna／salmon 罐头一个, 鸡蛋两个，少量cheese，少量面粉，搅拌好以后倒到
烤muffin的模子里。

放烤箱内烤15分钟左右, 上面再放上煮好的虾一只就好了。

Baked this for my Milo's first birthday and now baking again for both of my Christmas kitties! I gave them a taste of the tuna before I put it in, and they've been waiting in front of the oven this whole time. Thanks for the recipe!

Heya! Im about to make this for my cat Poppy as it is easter soon! Just a quick quesition, are you sure that eggs are safe? Thanks :)

Cooked eggs are definitely safe for cats. In fact, they are great food for cats and provide a lot of protein, vitamins and mineral.

Hope that you have already tried it for Poppy. If you not, try it out! :)

Hi,

My cat, Emerald, is turning two and me being the crazy person I am is making her a cat cake. I'm the exact type of girl so do you know the exact measurements for the flour and cheese. I don't wanna give her too much but I don't wanna give her too little.

Thanks,
Deja

Hi, Deja,

For flour, you can add 2 tbsp. The exact measurement for the cheese really depends on how much Emerald like cheese. If she loves it, then you can add 1 or even 2 tbsp. If not so much, you can reduce it to 1/2 tbsp or less.

Hope this helps and happy birthday to Emerald!

my kitty oliver turns three soon and I want him to enjoy his birthday, I am having a party and everything! I just have a few questions. if you put whole wheat flour will it make a difference? and does it matter what type of cheese you add?

Sorry for the late reply --- the spam software somehow misclassified your msg as spam. Frown

I am so exciting that you are throwing a party for Oliver. He is such a lucky kitty!

Hope it is not too late yet --- using whole wheat flour should be fine. For cheese, you may want to choose the type that is suitable for baking, such as mozzarella or cheddar.

Hope this helps and do share your party photos, if you can!

How many kitty-cakes will this make? It's our kittens birthday soon and I would like to make a bunch to take to the rescue we got her from.

Vicki

Hi, vicki,

That's such a great way to celebrate your kittens' birthday! --- It is so kind of you.

The recipe makes 2 muffin size birthday cakes. So you may need to multiple the recipe depending on how many cakes you want to make.

I am sure that the kitties in the rescue would enjoy it and hope they will find a permanent loving home like yours soon.

Best wishes,

-Yunyao

I have never tried it myself, but my guess is that you can replace the tuna with other cat canned food. I would try canned cat food that is mostly meat, such as  Tom and Mayori's favoriate Weruva Paw Lickin' Chicken, for its favor and texture. 

Hope this helps! I may try your idea myself some day. :)

In the easy tuna birthday cake for cats, is it plain flour or self raising flour used.
Thank you.

My baby girl Pebbles turns 1 tomorrow.

Dear Sharon,

It's so thoughtful of you to bake your baby girl her very first birthday cake. :)

I usually use all-purpose flour (a.k.a plain flour).

Hope this helps and happy birthday to Pebbles!

Best,

-Yunyao
